Revolutionary Guidance
Available on the eZono 4000, eZGuide is a revolutionary needle guidance technology.
Now, clinicians using ultrasound guidance for procedures, can accurately visualize the need track and the needle tip position, in any chosen plane, using eZGuide’s onscreen display with color coding. The alignment of the needle and the position of the tip relative to the imaging plane are always in view, in real time, while advancing the needle, allowing the user to identify the correct needle trajectory, prior to puncturing the patient’s skin and maintain the chosen route to the target anatomy.
eZGuide requires NO expensive hardware; NO special needles; NO special needle gauges; NO procedural changes.
Freehand Navigation
eZGuide is performed free hand, and functions for both in plane and out of plane procedures. Whilst conventional needle guidance technology restricts the choice of clinicians, to either in-plane or out of plane, eZGuide, allows the clinician to choose the optimal path of approach to the target area.
The Needling Challenge
The challenge facing clinicians using ultrasound guidance is developing the skills to manipulate both the needle and transducer to achieve the correct alignment and visualize the needle. Even with good technique, the needle is frequently identified more on tissue movement rather than good visualization and the user is restricted to ‘in plane’ techniques.
It has been reported that most problems associated with needle guidance techniques is failure to recognize the needle tip.
With eZGuide we overcome these challenges with on screen navigation that identifies and displays the needle path, for both in plane and out of plane techniques, and accurately pinpoints the needle tip.
